I have a Synology NAS with a Storage Pool 1 where all my data is on slow disks. Added two NVMe drives and used those to create Storage Pool 2 where my docker containers are. Works as advertised. However after adding a new slow drive because Storage Pool 1 was running out of space I could no longer add that drive to expand that pool because the drive requirements are not met. After checking the details it appears that I can only add NVMe drives but not HDDs anymore. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but it seems weird as I have not seen such a message before. Below is a screenshot of the requirements. Perhaps there is a way around it?

Sorry, some how I didn't notice this issue until now.

It looks like you were trying to add HDD 9 to your NVMe storage pool.

Hmm, I just tried again, but I couldn't choose the storage pool. It simply says the drive requirements aren't met. I'll try to create a new pool and or volume tonight. Thanks

Well, restarted the server and somehow it works again to add new drives to different pools. Don't really know what was going on, but I'm happy again!. Thanks

That's strange. But good that the reboot fixed it.
